O2 CEL fix? Simulator or Anti-Fouler?

[mikecentola]

I gotta fix the O2 CEL on Eri's Pooper Cooper soon because her inspection is up in may, so I'll have to go get it inspected. What do you guys like better, the electronic fix or the spark plug anti-fouler fix?

Here's a link to the electronic one: Mini Cooper o2 simulator - mini-o2sim-1-2

I'm sure both will work, but I can't make up my mind. Thanks.

the foulers are best.. it's $5 at any auto store and it's super easy to install.. the electronic one could break eventually and then you would need to repleace it

anti-fouler FTW.

Note, the CEL may still go off when crusing at the same speed for a prolonged period of time. You'll pass though

I'm worried about the clearance with a anti-fouler also. The space for the exhaust is very very tiny, and IIRC there was barely room for the o2 sensor.

you could have a 90 welded on there. I think thats what the Godspeed WRX DP's did.

That's a good idea. Thanks Byron. I'll see what kind of room I've got. This electronic fix looks promising also, since its microprocessor controlled instead of just a resistor.

you can NOT beat the o2 non-fouler fix for the money.

How about a CEL for an EGR

That's easy... remove cluster, remove bulb, re-install cluster.

Not to pass emissions it isn't....
